This is a traditional Filipino recipe which is quite similar to a South American Ceviche. It is best prepared with fresh fish and chilled with a side of rice of your choice.

Notes

Use as many or as little chilies as you like, the less spice the better for me.
Server after chilling for 30 minutes or you could leave it to chill overnight for best results.
If you can't find Kalamansi then substitute this with lime or lemon juice.

Ingredients

1/2 kilo of tuna fillets (Sardines, Pilchards or Marlin fillets can be used instead)
1 medium ginger, peeled and sliced
1 head of garlic, peeled and crushed
2 white onion, thinly sliced
2 green chili peppers, cut into thick diagonal slices
1 red or green bell pepper, diced
2 cups of vinegar
1/2 cup of kalamansi juice
1 1/2 cup of coconut milk
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

If using smaller fish, make sure that you fillet the fish moderately thin and without bones and skin. Then cut the fillet into cubes. If using steaks or larger fillets then just cut into cubes. Throw fish cubes into a bowl and sprinkle with some salt and pepper, mix ingredients well.
Pour in the vinegar, mix through, place mixture it in the fridge for and hour.
Drain the excess marinade. Put in the rest of the ingredients, mix all ingredients through.
Put it back in the refrigerator and let it chill for about.
Serve it cold with steamed or fired rice.
